ERP Therapy in Manhattan

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for OCD and anxiety disorders. At Nomad Psychotherapy, we provide ERP therapy to adults in Manhattan, with in-person sessions available in Midtown East and virtual therapy across New York State.

Our therapists specialize in helping clients reduce the impact of intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, avoidance, and anxiety using a collaborative, compassionate, and structured approach.

What Is ERP Therapy?

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) used to treat OCD and anxiety disorders. ERP helps individuals gradually face feared thoughts, situations, or sensations while learning to resist compulsive behaviors, avoidance, or mental rituals.

Rather than trying to eliminate anxiety or intrusive thoughts, ERP focuses on changing how you respond to them. Over time, this leads to reduced anxiety, increased confidence, and greater freedom in daily life.

ERP is considered the gold-standard treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder and is also effective for many anxiety-related concerns.

ERP therapy can be helpful for individuals experiencing:

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

  • Health anxiety

  • Relationship OCD

  • Perfectionism

  • Panic disorder

Treatment is tailored to each person’s goals and paced thoughtfully throughout therapy.
